Catcher's Knee: Posterior Femoral Condyle Juvenile Osteochondritis ORIGINAL ARTICLE Catcher’s Knee: Posterior Femoral Condyle Juvenile Osteochondritis Dissecans in Children and Adolescents Mark J. McElroy, MS,* Patrick M. Riley, MD,w Frances A. Tepolt, MD,w Adam Y. Nasreddine, MA,w and Mininder S. Kocher, MD, MPH*w (J Pediatr Orthop 2016;00:000–000) Background: Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans is an idiopathic condition involving subchondral bone and articular cartilage in skeletally immature patients in whom the growth plates are steochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee is a lo- open, potentially leading to lesion instability. Because of the Ocalized pathologic process in which an area of sub- differing forces experienced by baseball/softball catchers versus chondral bone undergoes metabolic changes or position players, the age at which lesions develop and the diminished blood supply, potentially involving separation characteristics of the lesions themselves may differ between these of the bone and overlying cartilage from surrounding 2 populations. The purpose of the study was to examine relative bony tissue.1 Despite the condition first being described age and characteristics of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) knee over 100 years ago by Paget2 and Konig,3 its precise eti- lesions in catchers compared with position players. ology and natural history remain largely speculative and Methods: Using a text-based search tool that queries clinic notes controversial.

Lesion Severity The severity of each lesion was determined using 2 methods. First, a pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine fellow read T2-weighted MRIs to evaluate fluid within the lesion and T1-weighted MRIs to evaluate breaks in the articular cartilage. Each lesion was then graded using the Hefti staging scale,6 which defines the 5 stages outlined in Table 1. Second, for patients who required surgical treatment, the stage determined using the MRI was con- firmed by narrative accounts of the lesion from the pe- diatric orthopaedic sports medicine attending surgeon’s operative report. When disagreement existed between the fellow’s MRI read and the attending surgeon’s report, a second attending was consulted to read the MRI. FIGURE 2.

It is shown that selected diagnostic steps lead to identication of various risk factors for disease development in the affected herd. One focus of this case report is the prioritization of diagnostic steps to verify the impact of the different conditions, which nally led to the clinical disorder. Disease is the consequence of previously acting factors, and the involved diagnostic institute is the last stage in the timeline. Some diagnostic ndings might therefore no longer be signicant.

    J Am Board Fam Med: first published as 10.3122/jabfm.2018.01.170209 on 12 January 2018. Downloaded from ORIGINAL RESEARCH Frequency and Criticality of Diagnoses in Family Medicine Practices: From the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) Michael R. Peabody, PhD, Thomas R. O’Neill, PhD, Keith L. Stelter, MD, MMM, and James C. Puffer, MD Background: Family medicine is a specialty of breadth, providing comprehensive health care for the individual and the family that integrates the broad scope of clinical, social, and behavioral sciences. As such, the scope of practice (SOP) for family medicine is extensive; however, over time many family phy- sicians narrow their SOP. We sought to provide a nationally representative description of the most com- mon and the most critical diagnoses that family physicians see in their practice. Methods: Data were extracted from the 2012 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) to select all ICD-9 codes reported by family physicians. A panel of family physicians then reviewed 1893 ICD-9 codes to place each code into an American Board of Family Medicine Family Medicine Certifica- tion Examination test plan specifications (TPS) category and provide a rating for an Index of Harm (IoH). Results: An analysis of all 1893 ICD-9 codes seen by family physicians in the 2012 NAMCS found that 198 ICD-9 codes could not be assigned a TPS category, leaving 1695 ICD-9 codes in the dataset. Top 10 lists of ICD-9 codes by TPS category were created for both frequency and IoH. Conclusions: This study provides a nationally representative description of the most common diag- copyright.

Three affected individuals carried the mutation and presented nearly identical spinal fractures but lacked other typical features of either osteogenesis imperfecta or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Although mutations leading to haploinsufficiency in COL1A2 are rare, mutations in COL1A1 that lead to less protein typically result in a milder phenotype.

  • The History of Traumatology and Orthopaedics Development
    THE HISTORY OF TRAUMATOLOGY AND ORTHOPAEDICS DEVELOPMENT The archaeological evidences, found in many countries of the world show that people have start- ed the treatment of human injuries from the high antiquity times. There are many evidences that trau- mas gained by our remote ancestors during work and in the period of wars were one of the main trig- gers of the folk and later scientifi c medicine formation and development. In the IV century BC (460–356 BC) the great scientist Hippocrates outlined his knowledge in med- icine (“On Fractures”, “On joints”, “On lever”). In the I century AD the Roman doctor Aulus Cornelius Celsus wrote the treatise "De medicina", in which he deepened and complemented the Hippocrates knowledge. Almost at the same time with Celsus scientist Galenus elaborated the issues of deforma- tions and injuries in human skeleton (131–206 AD). The great contribution in the study of injuries and diseases of musculoskeletal system made Avicenna (Ibn Sina 980–1037 AD), Ambroise Pare (1510– 1590), Glisson (1597–1677) et al. In the Ancient Rus until the end of XVII century there was no hospitals, so the medical care was provided by healers. The doctors were only from abroad, they were invited for privileged persons. Eventually some part of healers started to specialize in bones and joints injuries treatment, so folks called them bonese ers. In 1654 tsar Alexey Mykhailovich (Peter’s I father) ordered to establish the bonese er school in Moscow. In one year during the war with Poland the bonese ers of the school was conscripted to provide a medical aid to injured soldiers of the army.

BOHOMOLETS NATIONAL MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OSTEOCHONDROPATHY: LEG-CALVE-PERTHES DISEASE, OSGOOD-SHLATTERS DISEASE, SCHEUERMANN-MAU DISEASE, KÖHLER I, II, KIENBOCK'S DISEASES WORK BOOK For independent work of students of 5th course Study discipline "Traumatology and Orthopedics" direction “Medicine” specialty “Curative care” Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics Authors: prof. V.P. Kvasha Introduction One of the effective means of organizing an independent work of students on topics of disciplines assigned for independent study is the work of a student with his/her workbook. Work with the workbook should begin with the acquaintance with the key issues on the topic. The next step includes the acquaintance with the list of sources from which the student can find the answers to the posed questions. For more deep study of the problem students can visit professional websites. Having become acquainted with the theory, the student needs to assess his/her degree of mastering the material. In this regard, he/she resolves the proposed tasks; answers test questions on the topic. Students should pay particular attention in preparing for classes to the required minimum of practical skills to be mastered. In the relevant sections of textbooks, manuals, he must glean the information that he needs for mastering further practical skills. Arrangement of independent work with the use of workbook is conducted as follows: tutor provides the workbook to a student in digital format (to be downloaded from website of the Department), or in printed version; later the students do the tasks at their extra- curricular time, whereupon the tutor checks and assesses them at the initial stage of practical classes.

Porcine Health Management (2020) 6:41 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40813-020-00184-w CASE REPORT Open Access Lameness in fattening pigs – Mycoplasma hyosynoviae, osteochondropathy and reduced dietary phosphorus level as three influencing factors: a case report B. Wegner1, J. Tenhündfeld2, J. Vogels3, M. Beumer3, J. Kamphues4, F. Hansmann5, H. Rieger4, E. grosse Beilage3 and I. Hennig-Pauka3* Abstract Background: Multiple diagnostic procedures, their results and interpretation in a case with severe lameness in fattening pigs are described. It is shown that selected diagnostic steps lead to identification of various risk factors for disease development in the affected herd. One focus of this case report is the prioritization of diagnostic steps to verify the impact of the different conditions, which finally led to the clinical disorder. Assessing a sufficient dietary phosphorus (P) supply and its impact on disease development proved most difficult. The diagnostic approach based on estimated calculation of phosphorus intake is presented in detail. Case presentation: On a farrow-to-finishing farm, lameness occurred in pigs with 30–70 kg body weight. Necropsy of three diseased pigs revealed claw lesions and alterations at the knee and elbow joints. Histologic findings were characteristic of osteochondrosis. All pigs were positively tested for Mycoplasma hyosynoviae in affected joints. P values in blood did not indicate a P deficiency, while bone ashing in one of three animals resulted in a level indicating an insufficient mineral supply. Analysis of diet composition revealed a low phosphorus content in two diets, which might have led to a marginal P supply in individuals with high average daily gains with respect to development of bone mass and connective tissue prior to presentation of affected animals.
